It has been crazy wet up there and most trails are closed in most districts. Seems like in years past, it usually was only a week or two off dry weather before they opened the gates back up.
Having said all of that, I have an updated channel mapping that can be used with CHIRP to program Baofeng and other radios in a fairly simple way. I added weather and MURS a while back.
Depending on your radio and version of CHIRP, you may not need all of the columns. This is a dump of my radio...
Totally agree with everything said. It can be confusing understanding what you can and can't do or should and shouldn't do. The HAM prep can really help even if you don't get a license.
Having said that, not everybody has the same knowledge-base and not wanting to, or being able to, spend the...
Yeah, having comms is not strictly required. Lots of people carry extra radios so a person can get by at an event like LCDC.
But it is highly advisable to just go ahead and invest in a few items that will make your overall experience with your truck more enjoyable, but also safer.

Yeah, it seems like a big deal, but honestly, the hardest part is getting the side trim pieces back on. It will be easier if you have an extra set of hands, but is doable on your own if you just take easy. Even still, its not a big job.

We are in. We booked Airbnb from 28-2 but will likely either arrive a few days early or stay a few days longer to do some pre-runs and stretch the legs a bit.
If I can swing it then I’m in for leading something!
But for sure I’ll provide a nice bribe if I can land in the group led by @TheGrrrrr and @Gregtoy144 on Poughkeepsie. That was blast last time and still one of my all time favorite drives.
Edited because the pics didn’t show up first time.
I’ll be honest. I love Ouray, but the sxs traffic, and specifically the rentals driven by folks that have no sense and no business out there really detracts from the experience to the point that it’s just not the same anymore.
You are correct that there are experienced and knowledgeable folks...
I am not sure about the torque app and it may depend on the reader you use, but there should be an ABS specific test that would catch anything. I would assume it would indicate a fault if you broke the wire, at least indicating which side. I may be wrong though. I have OBDLink and can run...
